Story summary

As of October 23, 2026, the Indiana Fever fired their general manager Amber Cox, according to a person familiar with the situation who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the move had not been officially announced. Cox joined the team in 2024 as both GM and chief operating officer, replacing former GM Lin Dunn. During her tenure, Cox oversaw the team's rise in popularity, with record crowds at home and away games and viewership records being set since star player Caitlin Clark joined the team as the first overall pick in 2024. The Fever now face a busy offseason, including negotiations for Clark’s contract extension under the new EPIC clause of the CBA, which allows top rookie-scale players to renegotiate their final contract year early and sign multiyear extensions.
